Morphology

perfectly + season

The meaning 'having an ideal balance of seasonings' is directly derivable from combining 'perfectly' (completely/ideally) with 'seasoned' (treated with salt/spices). This intensifier + past-participle pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand the phrase.

Etymology

Perfectly seasoned comes from cooking: imagine a cook tasting a dish and adding a little salt and spices until it is seasoned just right. So perfectly seasoned means 'having the right balance of seasonings or spices' and tasting great.
